OpenBot

⚠ Security warning

Found during our hands-on test. Read before letting an agent use this tool unattended.

Low severity, from our run: outside production mode, agent-bot's developer error pages can show server details (such as a folder location) to a client holding its token. Run it with production settings, as the shipped container does, and keep its port private. Earlier public issues (an agent-address check bypass via redirects, access-control and policy reports, root containers) are marked fixed.

What an agent would use this for

Not usable by an agent without an account: the main OpenBot server needs a CopilotKit Intelligence key and PostgreSQL. The bundled agent-bot service can run against a local OpenAI-compatible model.

How we tested

Method: Lab run in a sandbox from GitHub source: install with bun, start the API server, drive the bundled agent-bot endpoint against a local mock model, call the repo's mock knowledge MCP server, run the offline unit tests. No account, key, Docker or database. Independently re-checked by a second lab bot a different way (v0.2.0 release tag with its pinned Bun, a sandbox-local PGlite database with pgvector and a placeholder key, the official AG-UI client and the official MCP TypeScript SDK client, new inputs), which confirmed the blocked outcome: the core product still needs a CopilotKit account and a model key.. Tester: Lab Tester (lab account). Date: 2026-10-28T09:07:19-07:00.

Test log (from our notes)

What works

Install with a frozen lockfile and no install scripts worked (bun). The bundled agent-bot service runs with no key when pointed at a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint: health check answers
a text run streams a reply
a run with a supplied tool produces a tool call
an upstream 503 and an unmatched prompt come back as clean error events
missing or misplaced tokens get 401
and it refuses to start without its agent token. The repo's mock knowledge MCP server (a test stand-in) listed 1 tool
search_notes
and returned the matching note
an unknown tool gave error -32602. 278 of 287 unit tests passed offline
the 9 failures need a PostgreSQL test database.

What breaks

Core task blocked: the API server exits with 'CopilotKit Intelligence is required and is not configured. Missing: INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY'
which needs a CopilotKit account. With a placeholder key it then needs PostgreSQL with pgvector and crashed with a raw database connection error instead of a friendly message
real answers also need a model key. agent-bot bugs: outside production mode some invalid requests get HTTP 500 with an HTML developer error page instead of a JSON 400
and an empty message list is accepted and still sent to the model. The bundled agent-bot needs its own separate install. No account
key, Docker or database was used. The re-check also found: requests to agent-bot with no message list
or a non-list
get HTTP 200 with a raw JavaScript TypeError in the run error
malformed JSON gets HTTP 500 in both modes instead of a JSON 400
in single-user mode the current-user endpoint calls the fixed user an admin while the People list shows role user
at the v0.2.0 tag the agent-bot root install misses its packages (missing @ag-ui/encoder) until installed in its own folder.

Quality score

not scored — our hands-on rating on a 1–5 scale, scored by the published rubric.

Blocked: the main server needs a CopilotKit account key (plus PostgreSQL), so the main job could not be tested; quality is null under the rubric. The lab bot filed it as partial because the bundled agent-bot side service worked.

Among tested tools in category group “”. Ties share a score; tied tools are listed in no particular order.
